A very informative 3 hour walking tour of central Santiago. Claudio was an excellent guide. Well recommended.
Maria José was an amazing guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, patient and enthusiastic. She brought Santiago and Chile to life, sharing fascinating insights into its history, indigenous peoples, architecture and current affairs. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!
She was wonderful. Very informative tour. She was also very accommodating. Very very good tour.
It was a worthwhile way to explore the center of Santiago and see important landmarks and a couple of neighborhoods. Lots of history and culture shared. The guide was quite knowledgeable, yet did not go out of their way to meet, organize, or get to know the group. It would have been nice to have the tour outlined with time frames and what to expect. The tour ended thirty minutes before the advertised approximate ending time.
Great introduction to Santiago with an engaging and MJ is a deeply knowledgeable guide.
Claudio had an encyclopaedic knowledge of history and put it in such lovely sequential terms ( and with a photo book) that you walk away truly wiser for the encounter! He has an engaging manner and the time flew by as his recounting of events kept you spellbound! The city is built on flat ground making it effortless to explore and with restaurant recommendations at the end, it was a perfect day.
This is a great way to get an overview of the city and its history. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and informative. Really enjoyed this walk.
Spent 2.5 hours with our tour guide Claudio. He was very informative, very knowledgeable with a great delivery. Highly recommend
Wow! Claudio was an amazing guide. I've traveled in England, Spain and France and have never had a more knowledgeable guide. So much accurate information and landmarks on a well thought out route. Will do another tour with him before we leave Santiago.
Very highly recommend this tour. Our guide Claudio was fantastic. 5 stars!! Claudio was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the sites and history. He provided excellent context.
A must see and do ! Claudio’s tour of Santiago is thoughtful and throughly engaging. Highly recommended
Good tour, very interesting history and just the right amount of time/information learnt lot in a small amount of time
Claudio is one of the best walking tour guides I have ever experienced. Unparalleled knowledge of Chilean history and happy to answer any questions asked of him. A fantastic way to see and hear a compact history of the last 500 years, mixed in with contemporary modern life. Please go on his tour and you won’t be disappointed.
This was a phenomenal walking tour of Santiago led by Catalina. The information she provided throughout the tour helped us connect with Chile’s history, and it was appreciated getting a list of places to visit during our stay in Santiago.
Claudio was a tour guide on October 3rd, 2026 4 pm small group tour. Luckily total of four people in our group, so we received good attention from Claudio. He showed us many land marks of Santiago which was great for the first day.
An interesting and informative walk. The guide was knowledgeable and took us on a wide ranging tour of the sites and architecture of central Santiago mixed in with a good history of Santiago and Chile in general. It was an enjoyable tour which I would certainly recommend to others.
Claudio (our guide) was extremely knowledgeable & engaging. He answered all our questions & shared a lot of historical & cultural information while keeping things moving along. I would highly recommend the tour. We did late the late afternoon tour which finished with excellent dinner recommendations.
Claudio was an excellent guide, providing a lot of info about each site we visited. He answered our questions, even ones that were not related to the sites we visited.
We really enjoyed our walking tour. Nelai was fantastic guide. We enjoyed our time with home. Very informative
Great Guide and tour worth it.
MJ is an excellent tour guide. She is knowledgable, friendly, considerate, and patient. I was lucky to get a private tour, so I asked all my questions and learned so much about Chilean culture, politics, geography, history, and cuisine. Now I feel I understand Santiago enough to navigate on my own.
Claudio was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He gave great detail on the history of Chile and Santiago. Would highly recommend!
Our guide Katy had an encyclopedic knowledge of the city and every place that we visited. Highly recommend this tour.
Rodrigo was a very knowledgeable guide, and we had a pleasant evening walking through downtown Santiago. You can set the pace and all to slow down or skip anything you need.
Highly recommend this tour, first of all the price was great. My tour guide Katy was awesome. She was full of information and answered any of my questions. Highly recommend!
The guide was very nice and kind. And she guides you throughout everything and even explains everything in detail. She is the best!
I had a wonderful afternoon with Nelai . He was extremely knowledgeable about the city and Chile - the current situation and also its long and varied history. We covered a lot of the Histórico Centro and he showed me some of his favourite spots. Would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in Chilean history and learning about the city
Our guide Katy was very VERY knowledgeable about the country, it's beginnings, the world politics involved, the history of the buildings (including how many earthquakes caused how many rebuilds for several of them). I was incredibly impressed with her. I absolutely loved it and if you want to know about Chile, it's capital, or anything else, I recommend this tour.
Tour guide Katy was excellent! She showed us all the sights listed on the tour in central Santiago. Hint- public museums are closed Mondays. Highly recommended!
This was truly one of the best experiences I had in Santiago! The walking tour was an amazing way to experience the city, learn about its history, and discover places I would have never found on my own. Katy was an outstanding tour guide! She was knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. She did an excellent job explaining the history and significance of the different buildings, landmarks, and neighborhoods we visited while keeping the tour interesting, engaging, and enjoyable. What really made the experience special was Katy’s personal attention and genuine hospitality. She made the tour feel less like a typical sightseeing excursion and more like exploring Santiago with a knowledgeable local who truly enjoys sharing her city with visitors. I highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Santiago de Chile. If you want to experience the city, learn its history, and get a true feel for the local culture, this tour is a must do! Thank you, Katy, for making my visit to Santiago even more memorable. I would definitely take this tour again on my next visit! 🇨🇱❤️
We had a great tour with Claudio, he was very informative and his stories of history and the area were very engaging. Would highly recommend
Very knowledgeable and engaging guide with good English skills. Saw the changing of the guards which was very interesting.
Claude was a wealth of information and very helpful. If you like history, you will love this tour. My only suggestion is that there needs to be a more specific meeting place within the plaza as it is a large area.
Claudio was an amazing guide! He has a great sense of humor, tells the history in an engaging way, and kept us moving to see everything possible without rushing. We truly learned so much about Chile and the indigenous people, and have an absolutely new appreciation for Santiago. Thank you for a wonderful first day in the city!
Kathy was a fantastic guide - she was so knowledgeable about the history and in particular the political history of Santiago and Chile. We really enjoyed the tour and Kathy’s company. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
Excellent experience, walk went ahead despite me being the only person on the tour and the guide Katy was excellent
Poor coordination from the agency. No instructions shared nor contact initiated at the meeting point and unable to find the tour guide. Missed the tour at the end. No refund provided and was offered to take the tour another day which is not possible considering I’ll only be in the city for a day.
Katy was a very knowledgeable guide and her English was excellent. Very great history lesson of Chile. Had a good time.
We had a fantastic day exploring Santiago with Katy. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate about the city. The tour was full of fascinating history and interesting local knowledge, and Katy explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. She showed us the main highlights while also sharing stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Katy was very attentive, happy to answer all our questions, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. It was a great way to discover Santiago, learn about Chile’s history and culture, and get a real feel for the city. Highly recommended, and a big thank you to Katy for making our day so memorable!
This is a great walking tour. Maria gave a lot of great information and was very enthusiastic. She also gave a lot of great recommendations to help me make the most of my time here.
Great tour by Maria Jose very educative and great introduction to Santiago’s history from the beginning to the present I will highly recommend
Iaxa was very knowledgeable, she spoke great English and was very friendly! Great way to get to know the history of Santiago when you arrive.
Aixa was fabulous - really knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic about her wonderful city. Highly recommend!
Excellent way to see the area and learn some of the political history. The architecture is beautiful and our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of each building. The price was well worth it, but I would have liked to be able to go inside more of the buildings. We were only able to go inside a church. We were there during the winter and a hat is definitely recommended as well as good walking shoes as the cobbles can be tricky.
Thorough introduction to history of establishment of Santiago by guide Aixa. Guide was friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable.
Our experience was amazing Rodrigo was so informative and descriptive. Excellent value for the amount of time was spent and each site. I could actually visualize what had happened in history, because of Rodrigo.
I enjoyed the walking tour. Claudio was very knowledgeable about the history and the culture of Santiago and Chile. It was only two of us but I liked that. It felt more like a personalized tour. I'd recommend it to others coming to explore Santiago.
I did the best walking tour in Santiago with Claudio. It ended up being just two of us which was great because it felt like a personalized tour. I enjoyed learning about the history of Chile. Claudio was very knowledgeable and the tour didn't feel rushed. I thought the amount of time was appropriate. I'd do another tour if and when I make it back to Santiago in the future.
An extremely informative introduction into Santiago and Chile's history. Katy was knowledgeable and provided great insight into all of the stops on our tour in the historic district. She read the room and geared the tour to our interests and answered all questions. She was very personable and generously shared with us every day life of a young Chilean. We had a late transfer from the airport and Katy waited 15 minutes for us, as we were the only participants on the tour and she made us feel immediately comfortable. She communicated the day before the tour and it made it easier to slightly alter our start time. At the end of the tour, Katy provided us with an excellent dinner recommendation at a local establishment. Five stars for the tour and 10 stars for Katy.
